What of this Picture 7

Mr.. Editor Sitting up here on Satur-
ing evening and reading the various letters
appearing from time to time In your valu-
able columns and those OF your neighbor,
cannot help wondering. What In the thun.
der Is the matter. Is not Silas Davis still in
the Custom House, and when we look across
70 our sister district, Topped off from Us some
time ago, have not they TEN Pyles' son,
q bright and sprightly lad he is, too, to look
after them. II there are any more people
up here whe want Office, why don't they
step up TO the captains Office and put
In their names. German ia still there and
he tells Us truly that we ought TO be content
because we have him and Prettymaa and a
whole lot of other big people. but he does
net mentien Davis or Pyles. This Is Ger
tainly enough 10 satisfy the cravings OF any
moderate man. and I am down on these fel-
lows whe want " get In efiice through the
back door and then have us swamped, or
maybe transported by this big railrosl,
when We are not thinking about II, hope
our good friends holding these good offices
will keep US posted, and We will watch
these blsoJy outsiders who GENE around
meddling with business that does not con
Germ them. What do they knew about run.
Ming AN slections Lock In what bad TX
the Democratic party was before Germans
time. We could only carry the State by
twenty or thirty thousand majority aud
didn't Aavs any fun indicilng election Of
ncers for voting all the dead men In prs
cinct German saved all OF Us when Ceve
land was elected, and guess alter his proc.
lamatlon we had no idea OF being cheated
out Of any eleotisn. We all shouted for
German and honest elections. No cheating
In. Ia -
Gsuld Tor us--we will fight first and "hang
jay Gould on . sour spple tree" We could
never have had this grcat string Of big ap.
psintmsnts II we allowed budding tickets ia
New York, and the idea Of dishonest
count went right down to the boet heels OF
our patriotic sons-and Germans great soul
was all ablaze. By-ths.by, | have bees
wondering. since bis lsst plain talk, II the
National Democratic COMMITTEES put hiua.si

was, wasn't 1t? We have heard good deal
said about fraud" being wrttea on old
Hayes forehead, but because We said that,
there is ne sense in Democrats falling OFT
abeut dishonest elections away off yonder Ia
baltlmere city. know that they sent three
judges aud two clerks in enc precinct u the
Penitentiary. THAT was all OF them tool for
adding just u lew names of dead men on the
tally sheet. Shame certain, and they have
just commenced trying them too. II Cor.
man does not enter an immediate protest. [
am afraid that they will serve some more OF
these poor dear Democrats IN the same way.
Who are these people whe would nut suoh
damper on the spirits of Democratic people
ON election dsyg Many Of my old friends
can recollect how we ssed to Jump around
and holla when the old blsod-tubs and
tigers and such like Of Know. Nothing DAYS

and shoot them too II they did rot leave the
polls. But none sf this is done now a.days,
and what have we TO complain about Why
they are all treated nice and kind, and they
take their ballots and put them in the boy,
ana suppose Jew OF them In each precinct
are not counted or ballot is put 10 for some
poor dead Democrat who WAS cheated cut

running for Commissioner and | did net vote

It was necessary, IN prleF ~ elect him, 10
put nay vote under the boy aud vote old
Jim Hill or Elijah Awkward, and then Mr..
Darby gave US splendid appointments, what
right would have 10 be cavorting around
here aud talking abeut fair elections when
great questions are at issue. No, Mr.. Eli
